Ok thank you now I know but so I need to follow through with icp test or just continue with biweekly Water changeAluminum will have no impact on algae.

I have attach a link to see if you can view it....What was the aluminum value?
When excessively high (don't rely on an ICP company to tell you what is too high) removing any white media is a better plan than water changes long term, IMO.
Currently have marinepure block. Running carbon 24/7 for 3 months now.I would call 85 ppb borderline. Not a big problem and not needing any special efforts.
Do you use any white media in the aquarium itself? Phosguard? blocks or bricks or anything esle?

I assume so, but are the marinepure biosphere balls also likely to leach aluminum? My levels are elevated in both my tanks, but not to a level, I’m overly concerned about from what I read in your articles and forums. In one tank I have the blocks and in the other only the spheres.That's the likely source. I'd personally remove them.

Levels were 68.08ųg/l and 81.42ųg/l respectively.
POLYFILTER
Poly filter I tried never turned red or reduced my aluminum levels according to ICP fwiw. Other's I've seen report the same lack of absorption.
How much Aluminum will it leach? Let's guess
Going to do a quick 1 month experiment with marine pure ceramic 4"x8"x8" block. I'm the poster child for ADD and curiosity killed the cat. This hobby is just to much fun as there's so much to play with. I'm not going to see how it effects my nutrients (N and P). As unless I messed something...www.reef2reef.com
Hi Randy been following this thread and thank you. My aluminium is 64.7 ug/l should I be worried also I’m using maxspect bio balls would thus be the source added 2 months ago? Thanx againAnyone going after aluminum with a polyfilter might be successful (I do not know), but the manufacturer is not to be trusted in its claims about aluminum since the claims about it turning the polyfilter red are just nonsense. It makes one wonder what they were binding when the filter turned red and they thought it was aluminum.
